Wata for Di Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Na Freetown we nor dey blind We see di files dem, we see di sign Pepa turn leg, money run quick Small man dey sweat, big man dey thick Market mama count every dime But dem say “wait” all di time Road full pothole, clinic full talk Yet di same hand dey do di chalk [Pre-Chorus] Who get di key? Who get di door? (Who get di key?) Who dey collect more? Hand go one side Pain go the other (Hand go one side) Sah, tell we, brother [Chorus] Wata for di hand, wata for di hand (We nor go lef’ am) Wata for di hand, wata for di hand (Truth go show am) Sah, tek da wata for di hand Tek da wata for di hand (We want justice now) [Verse 2] Tombo boy dey row for fish But dem tie him up for small-small wish Loan dem promise, school dem name Still di same old circle game Chairman smile, but eye so cold Young pikin story get left untold If you ask “where di budget go?” Dem go turn mouth like dem nor know [Pre-Chorus] Who get di key? Who get di door? (Who get di key?) Who dey collect more? Hand go one side Pain go the other (Hand go one side) Sah, tell we, brother [Chorus] Wata for di hand, wata for di hand (We nor go lef’ am) Wata for di hand, wata for di hand (Truth go show am) Sah, tek da wata for di hand Tek da wata for di hand (We want justice now) [Bridge] If we quiet, dem go trowe we down If we stand up, we go turn di sound From Kenema go bend to Kono side One voice, one fire, we nor go hide (One voice) (One fire) We need clean hands for di nation [Final Chorus] Wata for di hand, wata for di hand (We nor go lef’ am) Wata for di hand, wata for di hand (Truth go show am) Sah, tek da wata for di hand Tek da wata for di hand (We want justice now)
